Rule 1 of fantasy: DO NOT BUY BEN HAMPTON.

In all seriousness, I would not do it unless you have to do it to have a playing centre. Forget the cash, points are king, and I think Hampton is far too risky for what you get out of him.

Yeah alright cheers mate. I've currently got Avo and Roberts at centre so TLT pending (assuming roberts doesn't get dropped this week) I should be sweet for 2 playing centres. Still got riki though who I am going to need to upgrade soon enough, can buy anyone right now under 608k for him. Preferably need forward coverage. Who do you like in that price range lad?

if you can go a middle instead of an edge, Peachey is your best bet as he covers both centre and mid. The main other option I can think of in the price range is Jazz Tevaga, but he is quite risky since he loves a demerit and loves an injury.

Hmm, would like to see what happens with Riki, but he’s my 2nd EDG and Fui is my only EDG back-up, so I’ll have to do something, early thought is Riki to Harris, but that’s dependant on whether the right bottom dollar EDG for Fui/WFB for Moylan presents themselves to fund it.

I could do Niu to Bird but it’d mean I have to play 3 of Alvaro, Uto and Leniu or S. Walker isn’t that too weak? I’d look like this:

Macca
Watson Alvaro Uto
Angus Fifita
Cleary Schuster
Momo Bird 
Teddy Pap Laurie

Brailey Turpin Liddle S. Walker
Leniu Roberts Riki Simonsson



Edit: I’m not trading a centre unless I have too!

Still my concern is that playing all 3 of Alvaro, Uto and S. Walker in my 17, isn’t that too light on?

Back to staring trying to figure something out I go!

You're doing a lot better than I, so take with a grain of salt, but I'm not overly fond of Munster to Papali'i - seems very potentially sideways, especially with Townsend there. I know Townsend is scoring well and has a low BE, but with SJ due back any week now you could find yourself kicking yourself in a couple of weeks if you dump Munster before Townsend.

If it was me I'd just play Reimis in your CTR and play either Stefano or Riki. Or you could use a single trade to just upgrade Riki to a Tevaga, JFH or something like that?

Out of curiosity, why do you want Hampton if you have CTR cover in Reimis? I am looking at bringing Hampton in this week, with gigantic hesitation and unwillingness due to terrible JS, but I only have Niu and Bird as CTR options. I wouldn't dream of bringing him in in your situation, personally.

Mostly due to a low break even base seems to be around 30 is more then enough plus could get more opportunities with tolo quick play the balls

If I go nui to blore/ verillis I can go rikki to ipapali instead

Don't stress until TLT Rabbits. No point creating the perfect plan when TLT will bend it over and say "bite the pillow" anyway.

Low BE and averages 30-35 at 5/8 and HB. Not the worst shout, but after looking I've lost interest

If you were to get Moses and Haas in the next 2-3 weeks, which one would you get first.

If Dylan Brown is out I'm inclined to get Moses this week for Brandon Smith and play one of Leniu/Uto.

TU: Moses
TD: Haas

Suspension for crusher. Two games if he fights it and loses, one if he doesn't.

Oh righteo, cheers for that

Have chucked my team in the tracker if anyone wants to make a suggestion. Happy TLT

Pretty scathing article on Tigers and looks like Brooks might be on the outer. Wonder if Madden gets a run this week. Could drop any one of Nofo, Roberts, Ofa for poor defense also.

Wonder how he is playing for Newtown, javent seen any of it.

This type of scenario results in the guy not getting a suitable send-off, fair dinkum only got the 2016 trophy because of his individual herculean try !

Got away with disgusting coat hanger tackle on the weekend. Would've been weeks on the sideline in NRL but not even a penalty

Yeah I saw that one, was a shocker on first look. Didn’t look any better the next couple of times I watched it

Got 2 weeks ago for CTR cover. Very nice 51 in my CTR last week and 44k profit with -4 BE

Just commented - Niu to Peachey
Riki to Tevaga (use Tevaga to bridge to Haas)
